STORMR Campaign: Olympic Wildness – Pt. I
July 22, 2014 by 1 Comment
Walking into the Olympics of western Washington is a step back into time. Undisturbed and wild America – a land of the tallest trees, isolated mountains, rugged coastline, and an epic run of salmon and steelhead. Here’s a sneak peek at a recent campaign for STORMR foul-weather gear with fishermen Simon Pollack and Skyler Vella.

Olympic Day Hiking – The Brothers
July 2, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Spent a sunny summer day hiking to the base of The Brothers on the Olympic Peninsula, reaching just above the tree-line before running out of time. An hour and twenty minutes up to Lena Lake and then an additional three hours upwards. We passed below massive pines and wound through streams that disappeared beneath the riverbeds.
Post-Apocalyptic Youth Survival Group

Here’s a look at the newest project, creating a youth group surviving in a post-apocalyptic world. Living as a nomadic family, these characters have bonded and divided up the tasks in order to hunt, cook, carry, prepare and maintain within a hostile world. They’re in constant threat, picking their way through a tattered landscape, foraging for their everyday amenities. Thank you to the Field’s family for participating and going along with my vision.

Photo Essay: Wood – A Story from the Olympic Peninsula (Pt. II)
April 5, 2012 by 1 Comment
As I continue to drive out into the Olympic Peninsula, camera bags full and surf gear packed, I slowly observe the culture of a timber industry unfolding before my eyes. It is a people’s livelihood, their subsistence within the forest, bringing shelters over families heads and food to their hungry tables. And for the blue collar, it is not a wealthy industry. They are the cutters, sawers, operators, drivers and haulers of a civilization taking over the wild places.
With video files and the numerous still images of the cold cloudy spring passing over the Northwest wilderness, this project is evolving into an unbiased perspective of Man vs. Nature, and how the two can equally subsist; prosper side by side and thrive within one another.
Below is the second essay of imagery and visual thoughts from a story of wood deep within the Olympic Peninsula.

Wood; a precious commodity. Cut, sawed, shaped, nailed, lacquered, stained. Occasionally it’s replanted, and years later, generations gone, money is made again. Wood is money. The forests are for sale, for their resources, for their lands, for their habitat. The following images are the start of a multimedia project telling the tale of wood, from origin to combustion, and the phases of transition in-between. How does it effect us? How does it feed us? How is the life under our feet and that above our heads impacted today, tomorrow and those generations ahead?
